It would be fraud to put your name on an birth certificate if you know you're not the father, this may come back to bite you at a later date, especially if the real father finds out, you could end up in prison, then deported and barred.

  • I do get the feeling that you are seriously considering this. But try to imagine...  A birth certificate is an official document. My girlfriend has it too, she keeps it like it is an important possess

  • In the Netherlands I was able to get a 3 month visa in the Thai consulate with only a birth certificate. They did not ask for more than that.       One day the phone will ring an

  • Nah, not especially risky. However, you are breaking the law if you agree to that. One day the real father might also find things out. That can be risky.

Hi,

 

A Thai girl I know is due soon to have her baby and we were talking about how hard it is for farang to get visa in Thailand, and then she told me she doesn't anyone to put as the father in the child's birth certificate and if she put my name, I could get visa easily in the future.

 

To me this seems like a very risky thing to do. But reading a few topics here, people say a name on this document means nothing.

 

Can anyone tell me what are the pros and cons of having your name there?

 

Is there a way for her to ask for child support or any kind of payment in the future legally?

 

In any case I said no, but I wanted to be more informed about this. 

 

Glad you said no.

 

Now imagine this thai girl you seem to just "know" and is pregnant with the child of a man you probably "don't know" and she also probably "doesn't know" happens to know someone from your country.

 

They end up "knowing" each other so well that they move to your country to "know" each other more along with the child with the birth certificate and thai passport. 

 

Next thing you know they claim child support. And you end up loosing money on the lawyers when you could have spent that money on better things like paying for the services of a single mother in Thailand.
